Scholars have grappled with
how religion in the United States shapes attitudes toward racial inequality,
often by focusing on racial inequality as out-group disadvantage.

The current
study extends this research by moving beyond racial inequality as out-group
disadvantage to examine how religious conservatism and sanctification of social
justice (i.e., attributing spiritual or religious significance to working for
social justice) are associated with attitudes toward racial in-group advantage:
white privilege.
